Chapter 36: The Missionary
Although there are many literary and artistic works, after Li Shouhan became an adult, the missionaries were not all in the vanguard of imperialist cultural and religious aggression, and they also brought Western civilization and technology to China.
However, Li Shouhan still stubbornly remembered the image of several missionaries.
One is the image of a missionary in a cartoon he watched when he was a child, "The Fish Child", telling the audience in Chinese with a European accent, "This bathtub is my first!" It's our country's report! It's me who brings the drops! ”
The second is that when the Eight-Nation Coalition entered Beijing, a missionary took off his robe, changed into the uniform of the American army, picked up a rifle, and led his compatriot army to rob the Qing Dynasty's households.
The third is Nan Huairen. This person's crime is described in many works such as Lu Ding Ji, but it must be seen in reverse. Imagine what kind of spirit is a foreigner who came to China thousands of miles away, under the banner of spreading the gospel of the Lord, but helped a foreign ruler to make weapons to slaughter the original owner of this land?
This is the imperialist spirit of the aggressors who do not benefit others at all, but only self-interest!
"It's okay to talk about business! What bullshit gospel things are exempt. Shouhan waved his hand impatiently, as if there was a nasty fly in front of him.
"I beg your permission, Your Excellency, I am in your ......"
"Someone! Fork this guy off for me! ”
Morkin rushed up with two big-shouldered and round-waisted soldiers, and with a thrash of them, the hapless Alfonso was driven out of the hall.
The poor shepherd immediately changed from a guest to a beggar at the gate who demanded a small penny.
"He's a tough heretic." Lieutenant Colonel Jose defined Li Shouhan in his heart, "Whatever!" Whether he's a heretic or not has anything to do with me?! As long as he can make me gold! "His heart is so ungodly, but he still has a cross drawn on his chest.
"Alright, let's talk about our trade!" Shouhan generously motioned to a few Spaniards to sit down, and Yan Mei'er motioned to the maid to serve fragrant tea to a few people.
"Oh, a drink that costs more than gold!" A few people greedily sipped the fragrant Lu'an melon slices. (Not an advertisement!) I also want to talk about Longjing, but, think about it, Longjing still has to be left to pig's feet to drink by itself! These stupid foreigners can't drink it either! His mouth kept admiring.
"We have brought enough silver with us in the hope that we will be able to trade legally under the protection of the Governor." As the leader of this trade event, José was the first to speak.
"What do you want to buy?!" Shouhan didn't want the silver to be taken away by others.
"Chinese silk! Raw silk! And such teas! And, those white sugars! The more the merrier! Jose did not hesitate to report the varieties he wanted to purchase.
Gonzalez added, "If your Excellency the General allows us, we'd like to procure some of those beautiful cotton cloths that people wear on the streets outside!" ”
What a good day is today!? Do all the gods think I'm pleasing to the eye!? Shouhan gritted his teeth as much as he could, lest he laugh wildly, and the muscles on his face were still twitching.
"And the beautiful porcelain ...... of China," said Bolívar, as he explained his ideal commodity, when Karls, beside him, pulled the hem of his shirt and motioned for him to pay attention to the young Chinese governor's expression.
"I'm very familiar with that Brother Su you believe in." Shouhan first put himself on the position of a senior, "It is he who leads you lost lambs to me." ”
"Gross! Praise God! A few stupid hats didn't hear that they were being taken advantage of by Li Shouhan.
"I can sell you what you need. But, I don't know, do you have so much silver? ”
"Our six ships are loaded with 1,200,000 taels of silver from the Americas and Luzon! It is believed that His Highness's goods can be acquired. José puffed out his chest with some pride, making himself look taller and more burly.
"Cut!" Shouhan said very contemptuously.
"That's not enough to pay for my raw silk!"
"I have two thousand quintals of fine raw silk! If you go to Macao to buy, the total amount for the whole year is only that, and you still have to pay these hundreds of nautical miles of silver. Buy it in Macau, 600 taels of silver, and here in general, it is also 600 taels. Figure it out for yourselves. We have a fixed source of raw silk and silk. Li Peiting lost no time in adding.
Two thousand quintals of fine raw silk! Six hundred taels of silver! Indeed, his own silver was not enough to pay for the raw silk.
"General, in your rich treasury, I don't know what goods can be purchased by us?" Fang Cai's toes were arrogant, and suddenly turned into a low voice. Without him, strength is decided.
"Tea! Great tea! A thousand packs! Satin! 130,000 horses! Fifteen taels of silver per horse! Sugar! 100,000 dyed muslins. Sugar, 200,000 packs! The self-carried price is five taels of silver per package. Fine porcelain ......"
The barrage of item names and quantities and quotes, like the day when they saw rockets sweep through pirates, left the minds of these old Spanish hats blank.
I just heard about the wealth of the East, but what I didn't expect was that the wealth reached such a perverted level.
